Every human soul seeks at its deepest level to be compassionate to open its feeling life to others. The Pink
Yarrow type needs to distinguish authentic compassion from overly sympathetic identification with others. For
such persons, the boundaries between the Self and others is quite loose and ill-defined.

This extreme openness
predisposes the soul to easily “bleed,” or merge with it environment, particularly the emotional
aura of others. As a consequence, such individuals experience emotional confusion and oversensitivity, unable
to identify which feelings originate from the Self and which from others. Sometimes this emotional merging I
unconscious; at other times, the individual willingly sponges up emotional debris.

Such a soul is extremely “allergic” to
environmental confusion and disharmony, and hopes to dissipate such discord be internalizing it. Pink Yarrow
flower essence imparts greater objectivity and containment. It teaches that true compassion comes from the heart
which is in touch with its own spiritual strength. Such a person learns to give love that does not absorb, but
radiates; that heals not by sympathetic merging, but by compassionate presence.
